Realize that making pictures, for us, is way more than a job, or hobby.
SHOOT: I have just one. Share my enthusiasm.
10) Have the courage to think differently. 9) Be aware - beyond your own publication. "I love it when you notice my photo credit in some random publication and drop me a line telling me you liked my images." - Lynn Donaldson
8) Have fun. Photographers who are having fun are the best to work with - and editors are no different. "Detect and activate your sense of humor." - Daniel Milnor
7) Give compliments. 6) Give constructive criticism and feedback. There's a difference between a complaint, and a suggestion that, if followed, could result in more assignments. Photographers know the difference. 5) Help promote them. 4) Hire them for their style, let them shoot their style. 3) Respect them. Treat them as a partner. "Be professional. Don't act like you are doing the photographer a favor by contacting them." - Daniel Milnor
2) Be easy to contact. 1) Pay them on time, and don't be cheap. "Agree that there's no such thing as a half-day rate." - David Hume Kennerly
